Surah Al-Anfal, Verse 2-4
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا
"The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely. Those who establish prayer and spend from what We have provided them—those are the true believers."

مومن تو وہی ہیں جب اللہ کا ذکر کیا جائے تو ان کے دل ڈر جائیں، اور جب اس کی آیات پڑھی جائیں تو ان کا ایمان بڑھ جائے، اور وہ اپنے رب پر بھروسہ کرتے ہوں۔ جو نماز قائم کرتے اور ہمارے دیے ہوئے میں سے خرچ کرتے ہیں—یہی حقیقی مومن ہیں۔
Explanation
True faith has markers: a trembling heart at Allah's mention, increasing iman through recitation, tawakkul, salah, and charitable spending.
Context
Defines the internal and external qualities of authentic believers.
